The Style of Technology

Grindingly Good

All this talk of coffee has me salivating and wishing it weren’t after 1pm. You see, if I were to enjoy the full bodied goodness of a good coffee right now, I would not sleep tonight. Instead, I just spent the last half hour perusing various grinders and brewing methods and wishing I [...]

User Input: Personal Percolation Preferences

Yesterday, on engineerd’s post about the coffee-bags he’s discovered — which look brilliant, if you ask me — commenter Plecostomus noted that, while that was some kinda cool, it was missing out on a certain level of technology that should appeal to all of us. After all, there are dozens of ways of [...]

Damn The Machines!

I love coffee. I can’t function until that first cup of brew is in my hands. I don’t even have to drink it. Just knowing I have caffeinated wonderfulness awaiting me is enough to let my brain start to work. I love the taste. I love the warmth…even in summer. I love everything about it. I’ll drink coffee from anywhere — Starbucks, Biggby, Second Cup, Timmy Ho’s, Double D’s. I have a Cuisinart Grind N’ Brew at home. Best kitchen invention ever. It’s a pain to keep clean, though. And an old timey coffee mill or even a newfangled electric one takes up too much space in my small kitchen. Plus, there are times where electricity isn’t available. Like when I’m camping or running from zombies. Or the man.

TOO MUCH DECORATION.

I decided to treat myself to a coffee to cheer myself up this morning. Those who know me know of my love for the Punkinspice Latte, and this seemed like one of those mornings where I should give myself a pick-me-up. Also, I’m trying to avoid the rest of the [...]

Cawwww-feeeeee…

It’s Wednesday morning after a long weekend. I’m feeling unmotivated, and just want to go back to bed. It’s one of those days when even vast, vast amounts of coffee isn’t helping to get me going.

Startup: Puff the Magic Barista

Like most of our visitors, I like to kick off the morning with jolt. I won’t begrudge people cream & sugar, or even a flavor shot; but this is almost sacrilegious. Props to the barista but nobody watches Formula 1 for the paint jobs, do they?
